Also, in some fonts it's very diffcult to tell the difference between
"1" and "l".
Misreading or mistyping
foo = l
as
foo = 1
Can result in lots of debugging fun.
The only thing worse than writing code that's hard to understand is
writing code that's easy to incorrectly understand.
Yes, there's a difference. :)
